The document discusses advanced networking capabilities and applications for research and education both currently and in the future. Today, networks provide megabit bandwidth and IP services focused on campuses, while coordination across networks is loose. Tomorrow, gigabit bandwidth, IP and dynamic circuit services will have inter-domain middleware and high coordination across networks. Today's applications include videoconferencing and sharing small data sets, while remote instruments have limited access. Future applications will support uncompressed HD video, sharing terabyte data sets globally, and routine access to remote instruments. A variety of research applications are discussed that benefit from high-speed networks including distributed computing, telemedicine, astronomy, and tele-immersion.

- 10. Using the network as a "backplane" to build network-wide computation and data services. It enables scientific exploration, which requires intensive computation and analysis of shared large-scale databases, from hundreds of TeraBytes to PetaBytes, across widely distributed scientific communities. 7The Grid project

- 13. TelemedicineDuring a surgery performed at Ohio State University, Abilene was used to conference with doctors from other parts of the country.An MRI machine can scan a patient in one location and send the data to a remote supercomputer for processing, and then deliver the resulting images to a doctor in a third location.10
- 15. Radio AstronomyElectronic transmission of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (e-VLBI) data from the Haystack's Westford Observatory and NASA's Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory, which were streamed over Internet2's Abilene Network to the Haystack correlator at 512 Mbps. The live results were displayed in a 3D plot (correlation amplitude, differential Doppler, differential delay) in Pittsburgh as the data were correlated. 12

- 17. Tele-immersionTele-immersion creates coordinated, partially simulated environments at geographically distributed sites so that users can collaborate as if they were in the same physical room. In the case of medical applications, such as tele-radiology and urgent diagnostics, the availability of such technologies in the places that are physically inaccessible to specialists could potentially save the lives. Off-shore ships and oil rigs are good examples of such environments.14
- 18. The participants in this session were not only able to see each other in 3D but they were also able to engage in collaborative work, and take part in a design process (a simple example of interior office design)

Synthetic WorldsOtherwise known as massive multiplayer interactive gamesOver 5 million “inhabitants” todayDoubling every 18 monthsAbout 2% of the Internet-connected population age 14-28 spend more time in the synthetic world than in the real worldLinked to the real worldPhysical artifacts like playing cardsEbay auctions for “money” and resourcesReal people make real money
